The interview should follow the story, not just the prompt list.
Prompted recordings are useful. But a life story often changes direction mid-sentence: a name comes up, a place returns, a small object suddenly matters. Fablr is designed to follow those threads.
Fablr's voice biographer can ask what happened next, return to a memory from a prior session, and adapt the interview around the storyteller's life instead of keeping every answer inside a fixed prompt.
Remento records the answer to a prompt. Fablr asks the next question.
